Quotation[edit]

Could the 'mills of god' quote be worked into the text somehow (as the diploma mills are the reverse).

And one doctorate is never questioned. Anna Livia (talk) 14:08, 6 October 2017 (UTC)

ITT Tech[edit]

With them crashing and burning spectacularly, would it be wise to include them in this article? Zero (talk - contributions) 16:01, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

Was that recent(can't find the news) or like a couple years ago? ikanreed 🐐Bleat at me 16:20, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

RW Diploma mill[edit]

What would a RW diploma look like?

  • Advanced swearing
  • Annoying someone sufficiently to go on a two day LANCB holiday. (Double grade if yourself).
  • Having a row with 'the usual suspects/your own troll'

Any more? 82.44.143.26 (talk) 18:40, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

Atheist seminary. ikanreed 🐐Bleat at me 18:42, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

Is RW atheist or 'assume nobody else is interested in your faith, so don't bother peddling it (unless it is sufficiently weird or interesting)'? Anna Livia (talk) 00:00, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

Not a diploma mill[edit]

... but not a university/academic - this. Anna Livia (talk) 19:48, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

Backstory[edit]

I was looking at a volume of 'Notes and Queries' for 1903 (as one does) - and there was an article on these bodies, with references to articles in earlier volumes/issues. The term 'mill' was used of the bodies. (For those finding the journal online 'language of the time is used.') Anna Livia (talk) 20:28, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
